Chris I wonder if that’s where they got the line from? It’s being used to describe the view from a hotel somewhere in Northern Norway
Christopher Schröder Aug 1, 2020:
@Tariq This line is from the Norwegian version of a song from Tarzan. The original English line is “beyond your dreams”. The question though is why on Earth are you translating it?!

Beyond words

This calls for a little explanation. Fatter ord literally translates to «understands words». Some beauties, often blond ones, are often challenged in this respect. Easier, rather, to imagine that fatter stems from the Swedih fatta, meaning to lack. Hence, a beauty that words cannot describe - a beauty beyond words.
